The main problem is in two places:

1) In src/libc/crt0, the files 'crt0.s' and 'gcrt0.s' have to be renamed,
otherwise 'make' won't find them (it explicitly names them in rules, so
the usual trick with the pattern rule %.o: %.s doesn't work here).  But
once they are renamed, 'gcrt0.S' still won't compile, as it #includes
'crt0.s' instead of 'crt0.S'. 

2) 'make clean' in src/libc/stubs removes '*.S', but here, the files
generated by 'mkstubs.exe' are actually called '*.s', even on Linux. 

The patch set fixes 2), but for 1), I only offer a shell script to
do the necessary changes.

snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
